BHA & BHT Free Cranberry Orange Relish with Ginger & Honey
Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this cranberry-orange relish is the kind of condiment that makes a whole table sit up and take notice. The whole unpeeled orange goes straight into the food processor with the cranberries, so you get that gorgeous bitter-citrus depth in every bite without any extra effort. Fresh ginger and a touch of cinnamon round out the flavor in a way that feels festive but not fussy. Store-bought relishes and canned cranberry sauces are notorious for sneaking in synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward — nothing processed, nothing artificial. Honey steps in as a gentle sweetener that lets the fruit shine rather than masking it. A quick chill in the fridge is all it takes for the flavors to meld into something that tastes like it took far more effort than it did. Make it a day ahead and it only gets better.
